The Kalemegdan Fortress

The Kalemegdan Fortress is undoubtedly Belgrade's most stunning landmark. Built between the second and eighteenth centuries. Yes, it took forever to complete. Numerous times, it was destroyed and rebuilt. The fort has come to represent Belgrade. The Romans had it constructed in the second century. This region was being guarded by the Roman legion IV Flaviae. They have fought against armies of Huns, Goths, Avars, and us Slavs. The historic Singidunum was built during the busy time. Later, Singidunom became Belgrade, the name used today.


You can only fully appreciate this location's beauty and significance if you actually go there. There is more history underfoot in the Belgrade citadel than can be found in history books. The alleged "Roman well," which was actually constructed in the early 18th century, conceals many tales. The majority of the city's entrance gates have been intact, and the clock tower known as the Sahat tower still maintains its original appearance. Awe-inspiring views of the city may be seen from the Danube and Sava rivers. You will see the enormous "Victor," a symbol of Belgrade and a triumph over time, soaring above the city walls. Ivan Metrovi's bronze sculpture of a naked man clutching a pigeon and a sword was unveiled in honor of the Salonika Front's breakthrough's tenth anniversary.
